with  which  neither  Addison  nor  Steele  had  had  anything  to  do, 
were  afterwards  printed.  This  series  contains  the  last  number  of 
the  original,  in  which  Steele  closes  the  publication,  and  has  also 
Nos.  613  and  618  of  "Vol.  VIII"  of  the  Pseudo  Spectator,  issued 
by  the  same  publishers. 

This  was  Frederick  Locker's  copy,  from  the  Rowfant  Library. 
Three  interesting  letters  from  Austin  Dobson,  with  reference  to 
the  completion  of  the  numbers  for  Locker,  are  inserted.

It  is  printed  in  the  famous  Aldine  or  Italic  type,  which  was  first 
used  in  the  Virgil,  one  year  earlier.  The  type  is  said  to  have  been 
cut  by  Francesco  da  Bologna,  better  known  as  Francia.

at  the  Princes  Armes  in  St.  Pauls  /  Churchyard. 
1647. 

Folio,  full  crushed  levant  morocco,  gilt  edges, 
by  Riviere. 

The  First  Edition  with  portrait  by  William  Marshall.  This  is 
the  first  collected  edition,  and  the  volume  does  not  contain  the 
''Wild  Goose  Chase,"  which  was  sometimes  included  in  the  work. 
There  is  a  brilliant  impression  of  the  portrait  of  Fletcher  engraved 
by  Marshall,  in  the  very  first  state  of  the  plate;  the  name  of  Sir 
John  Birkenhead  being  printed  large  beneath  the  nine  lines  of 
verse  written  by  him,  and  the  words  ''vates  duplex"  in  small 
letters. 

This  edition  appears  to  have  been  due  to  the  enterprise  of 
Moseley,  and  nothing  which  throws  light  upon  the  history  of 
printing  at  this  time  is  more  interesting  than  the  Postscript  added 
at  the  end  of  the  Commendatory  Verses.  The  volume  is  dedicated 
to  the  Earl  of  Pembroke,  to  whom  also  was  dedicated  the  First 
Folio  Edition  of  Shakespeare:  and  in  the  dedication  to  the  present 
volume  is  an  interesting  mention  of  this  incident  in  which  the 
great  bard  is  termed  "Sweet  Swan  of  Avon  Shakespeare."

handwriting,  on  the  inside  cover,  is  written  "Robert  Southey. 
Jany.  3,  1811."  On  the  title-page  he  has  written  **by  W.  Beck-

4to,  full  blue  morocco,  gilt  on  the  rough. 

This  is  one  of  the  rarest  of  the  early  issues  of  Edward  the 
Sixth's  First  Prayer  Book.  The  one  published  by  Whitchurch, 
March  7th,  is  the  first.  The  most  marked  dissimilarity  in  the  vol- 
umes issued  by  the  London  printers  lies  in  the  special  woodcut  title-

pages  used  by  each.  Grafton *s  beautiful  border  (repeated  for  *'A 
Table"  and  "Kalender'')  shows,  above  a  Doric  frieze  supported 
by  pilasters,  a  view  of  the  Council  Chamber  with  King  Edward, 
surrounded  by  his  advisors,  and  at  the  bottom  the  printers'  pun- 
ning mark,  on  a  shield  held  by  two  angels.  It  is  as  fine  an  example 
of  work  as  anything  of  the  period.  Grafton  afterwards  used  the 
same  border  for  his  edition  of  ''A  Concordance  of  the  Bible," 
printed  in  1550. 

The  unnumbered  leaf  at  the  end  of  the  book  contains  the  royal 
order  concerning  the  price  of  the  book. 

Only  a  few  of  the  side  margins  are  restored. 

It  is  evident  that  the  Litany  was  not  intended  to  form  part  of 
this  book,  as  the  previous  page  ends  with  "Finis,"  and  it  is  not 
mentioned  in  the  Table  of  Contents  on  verso  of  the  title-page.

The  first  issue  of  the  first  Edinburgh  edition.  Portrait  by 
Beugo  after  A.  Nasmyth  (the  first  portrait  made  of  Burns).  Lacks 
the  half  title. 

This  was  published  the  year  after  the  Kilmarnock  edition, 
contains  twenty-seven  pieces  printed  for  the  first  time,  and  is 
dedicated  "To  the  Noblemen  and  Gentlemen  of  the  Caledonian 
Hunt."  This  is  the  rare  first  issue  (two  were  published  in  the 
same  year  in  Edinburgh)  and  contains  all  the  needed  *  *  points. ' '  On 
page  xxxvii,  the  Duke  of  Roxburgh 's  name  is  printed  *  *  Boxburgh, ' ' 
and  on  page  xlvi  is  the  addenda  to  the  subscription  list.  These 
were  altered  in  the  later  issue,  the  addenda  was  incorporated  in 
the  list,  and  "Boxburgh"  was  correctly  spelled  "Roxburgh." 
Only  a  few  copies  of  the  genuine  first  issue  of  this  edition  were 
printed.  On  page  263,  the  word  *  *  stinking ' '  is  mis-spelled  *  *  skink- 
ing." 

This  copy  is  particularly  interesting  as  having  belonged  to  Rob- 
ert Ainslie,  and  was  presented  to  him  by  Burns.  On  the  fly-leaf 
is  Ainslie 's  signature,  and  throughout  the  book  Burns  has  filled 
in  the  names  where  asterisks  appear  in  the  printed  text.  There 
are  about  forty  of  these  notations  in  the  handwriting  of  the  poet.

CHARLES   TEMPLfiTON   CROCKIlR 

At  the  heading  of  **  Death  and  Doctor  Hornbrook.  A  True 
Story,"  Burns  has  written  "John  Wilson  schoolmaster,  Tarbol- 
ton." 

An  autograph  note  from  Burns  to  Ainslie  has  been  inserted 
in  this  copy.  It  has  the  address  on  the  outside  of  the  sheet  '*Mr. 
Robt  Ainslie.  Writer,  Care  of  Mr.  Ainslie,  Bookseller,  Newtown, 
Edin.  To  be  forwarded  wherever  he  is."  The  note  has  neither 
beginning  nor  end,  and  it  is  probably  the  kind  Burns  would  dash 
off  when  there  seemed  to  be  little  to  write  about.  It  reads :  *  *  I  am 
not  entirely  sure  of  my  farm's  doing  well — I  hope  for  the  best: 
but  I  have  my  Excise  Commission  in  my  pocket :  I  don 't  care  three 
skips  of  a  cur-dig  for  the  up-an-down  gambols  of  Fortune.  I  am 
vexed  at  your  seeming  dispiritedness.  I  am  afraid  somewhat  is 
going  cross  with  you.  The  devil  sometimes  half  whispers  me,  that 
you  are  wearing  of  an  idle  barren  correspondence."

8vo,  original  cloth,  uncut. 

Frontispiece,  folding  map,  and  illustrations. 

This  compilation  of  Richard  Walter  has  long  occupied  a  dis- 
tinguished position  as  a  masterpiece  of  descriptive  travel.  The 
first  edition  was  published  in  1748,  in  quarto,  and  its  textual  dif- 
ferences with  the  later  quartos  are  slight.  The  forty-two  maps 
and  plates  should  accompany  all. 

There  is  an  abridgment  issued  in  octavo  (as  this  copy),  also 
frequently  reprinted,  and  translations  were  made  into  French,  Ger- 
man and  other  languages.  Anson's  voyage  appears  to  have  been 
the  most  popular  book  of  adventure  in  the  eighteenth  century.  It 
contains  an  interesting  account  of  the  Island  of  Juan  Fernandez.

CHARLES   TEMPLETON    CROCKER 

25th  and  26th  of  October,  and  5th  of  November, 
1860,  in  reply  to  the  Government's  Special  Coun- 
sel.   Reported  by  Sumner  &  Cutter. 

San  Francisco:  Commercial  Steam  Book  and 
Job  Printing  Establishment,  1860. 

8vo,  three-quarters  morocco. 

Castillero  came  into  possession  of  the  New  Almaden  quicksilver 
mine  in  1845,  by  the  method  of  denouncement.  By  this  Mexican 
law  or  custom,  any  person  or  company  could  present  themselves 
to  the  nearest  authorities  and  denounce  an  unworked  mine,  and, 
after  certain  formalities,  be  put  in  possession  of  all  or  part  of  it, 
according  to  its  extent;  the  new  owner  being  obliged  to  work  his 
new  possession,  or  a  fresh  claimant  could  denounce  against  him. 
In  all  cases,  the  Government  claimed  a  certain  proportion  of  the 
products.  In  this  case,  the  Hon.  J.  P.  Benjamin  argued  that  the 
United  States  acting  as  the  assistant  of  a  band  of  unscrupulous 
speculators,  had  no  right  to  the  mine,  as  Castillero  had  acquired  it 
under  this  law  of  denouncement  prior  to  the  ceding  of  California 
by  Mexico  to  the  United  States  in  1848.

Monterey.  It  is  one  of  the  first  works  to  give  the  results  of  actual 
experience  in  working  in  the  newly  discovered  gold  region.  (First 
Edition,  1849.)  Brooks'  party  of  five  accumulated  more  than 
one  hundred  pounds  of  gold,  but  unfortunately  they  were  relieved 
of  the  greater  part  of  it  by  highwaymen.

The  Second  Edition.  An  excellent  authority  both  on  the  over- 
land journey  and  events  in  California.  The  author  was  the  Al- 
calde at  San  Francisco,  and  this  work  went  through  many  editions, 
one  English,  two  French  in  1848  and  1849.  There  was  also  an  edi- 
tion, now  very  rare,  printed  with  the  addition  of  Wierbicki 's 
"California  As  It  Is,"  and  issued  at  Launcetown,  Tasmania,  in 
1850.  Beginning  with  the  third,  the  American  edition  was  slightly 
enlarged  and  a  map  added.  The  facts  in  reference  to  the  military 
and  naval  operations  in  California  did  not  come  under  the  author's 
personal  observation,  but  are  derived  from  authentic  sources.  This 
is  one  of  the  earliest  works  to  draw  attention  to  the  California 
gold  deposits.

documents  relating  to  California,  1847-1849,  and  is  the  most  ex-

of  the  Mexican  War  in  California;  the  formation  of  the  military

the  constitution;  land  titles,  and  many  phases  of  history  from  an

sage was  so  great  that  Congress  had  printed  ten  thousand  extra

Coke  was  a  British  globe-trotter,  and  his  excessive  English  spirit

easily  the  sights  and  sensations  of  his  journey  has  resulted  in  a 
most  entertaining  book.

six  hundred  and  fourteen  pages  (this  only  four  hundred  and  six- 
teen), and  reports  by  Abert,  Cooke  and  Johnston.  As  in  the 
Fremont  narrative,  this  edition  of  Emory  corresponds  in  text, 
maps,  and  subjects  of  plates,  but  the  latter  differ  considerably  in 
appearance  and  engraving.  The  work  contains  folding  maps  and 
a  large  number  of  jjlates  and  views,  ethnology  and  natural  history.

Pedro  de  Faxe  was  Captain  of  Infantry  of  the  Free  Volunteers 
of  Catalonia  and  Military  Commandant  of  the  posts  in  California 
for  some  years. 

The  manuscript  is  written  in  a  beautiful  clear  hand,  and  while 
it  is  not  precisely  a  diary,  is  devoted  to  his  marches  from  San 
Diego  to  San  Francisco  and  back  to  Monterey  (where  he  was 
finally  8tatione<l)  and  treats  of  the  country  passed  through,  the 
Indians,  their  customs,  language,  etc.,  with  much  geography  and 
natural  history  of  California.

The  author  was  one  of  the  first  English  explorers  and  dis-

relate  exclusively  to  California.  The  changes  of  time  and  sub- 
sequent history  have  not  disturbed  the  value  of  this  work,  for  it 
is  still  to  be  considered  as  one  of  the  most  important  on  the  sub- 
ject. Among  the  plates  are  early  views  of  Monterey ;  Bay  of  San 
Francisco;  Santa  Barbara;  San  Carlos;  Indians;  and  Calif ornians 
throwing  the  lasso,  the  last  being  copies  from  Beechey's  ''Voy-

Presentation  copy.  William  B.  Ide,  the  leader  of  the  Bear 
Flag  movement  at  Sonoma,  has  received  criticisms  from  many 
sources,  but  according  to  Hubert  Howe  Bancroft,  he  was  a  worthy 
and  honest  man.     His  death  occurred  in  California  in  1852. 

This  work  was  set  in  type  by  Simeon  Ide  when  in  his  eighty- 
sixth  year,  and  having  been  prepared  amid  difficulties,  only  a 
small  number  of  copies  were  issued,  and  the  work  is,  therefore, 
scarce.

Felipe  de  Zuiiiga  y  Ontiveros,  calle  del  Espiritu 
Santo,  aiio  de  1787. 
4to,  parchment  covers  with  thong  ties. 

With  plate  and  folding  map. 

The  most  famous  and  the  most  extensive  of  the  early  works 
that  relate  to  Upper  California.  The  plate,  a  symbolical  portrait 
of  Serra,  typifies  his  apostolic  labors,  and  is  to  be  found  facing 
page  one.  The  folding  map,  placed  at  the  end  of  the  work,  repre- 
sents Old  and  New  California,  and  contains  the  geographical 
names  as  known  and  the  missions  as  they  existed,  then.  It  was 
engraved  by  Diego  Froncoso,  Mexico,  1787.  Two  varities  of  the 
map  exist,  both  of  which  were  printed  from  the  same  plate.  In 
the  earlier  variety,  the  space  shovra  as  the  Pacific  Ocean  is  blank, 
and  in  the  later  copies  (as  on  this  one)  the  space  is  occupied  by 
the  words  "Mar  Paeifieo,"  engraved  in  large  characters. 

Miguel  Jose  Serra,  a  native  of  Petra,  on  the  island  of  Mallorca, 
was  born  November  24th,  1713.  He  took  the  Franciscan  habit  in 
1730,  assuming  the  name  of  Junipero,  and  until  1749,  devoted  his 
life  in  preparation  for  missionary  work.  He  reached  Mexico, 
December  6th  of  that  year,  and  began  immediately  the  arduous 
spiritual  work  that  ended  only  with  his  death.  His  early  work 
in  Mexico  was  for  a  time  in  the  missionary  field  of  the  Sierra 
Gorda,  and  later  in  the  college  of  San  Fernando.  In  1769,  he 
arrived  at  San  Diego  in  Alta  California,  and  at  that  place,  on 
July  16th,  he  founded  the  first  Californian  mission.  From  this 
time  he  was  indefatigable,  founding  many  missions,  and  traveling 
many  miles,  always  on  foot.  His  end  came  on  August  28th,  1784, 
at  San  Carlos,  the  beloved  mission  that  he  founded  June  3d,  1770.

The  extremely  rare  First  Statutes  of  California.  **The  first 
legislature  of  the  State  of  California  consisted  of  sixteen  senators 
and  thirty-six  assemblymen.  The  rainy  season  which  had  set  in  on 
the  28th  of  October,  1849,  was  at  its  height  by  the  middle  of  De- 
cember, and  did  not  close  until  the  22nd  of  March,  during  which 
period  thirty-six  inches  of  water  fell  upon  the  thirsty  earth.  The 
roads  were  rendered  nearly  impassable  and  the  means  of  travel, 
otherwise  than  on  horseback,  being  limited,  it  was  with  difficulty 
that  the  members  made  their  way  to  San  Jose  from  their  different 
districts,  no  quorum  being  present  on  the  first  and  second  days.  The 
legislative  building  furnished  was  an  unfinished  box,  sixty  feet  long 
and  forty  feet  wide,  two  stories  in  height,  having  a  piazza  in 
front.  The  ujjper  story,  devoted  to  the  use  of  the  assembly,  was 
simply  one  large  room,  approached  by  a  flight  of  stairs  from  the 
senate-chamber,  a  hall  forty  by  twenty  feet  on  the  ground  floor, 
the  remainder  of  the  space  being  occupied  by  the  rooms  of  the 
secretary  of  state,  and  various  committees.  For  the  first  few 
weeks,  owing  to  the  incompleteness  of  the  hall,  the  senators  held 
their  meetings  in  the  house  of  Isaac  Branham,  on  the  southwest 
corner  of  the  plaza."  Sabin  mentions  the  book,  but  knows  of 
no  copy.

4to,  three  volumes,  full  calf. 

With  four  folding  maps. 

George  Bancroft's  copy,  with  his  bookplate. 

The  first  map  of  California  is  surrounded  by  a  border  of  ten 
vignettes,  showing  inhabitants  and  animals  of  the  country,  and 
the  martyrdoms  of  Padres  Carranco  and  Tamaral.  The  second  ia 
a  map  of  the  lands  adjacent  to  the  upper  part  of  the  Gulf  of  Cali- 
fornia, 1747,  after  the  Jesuit  missionary,  Cinsag.  The  third  is 
of  the  South  Sea  or  Pacific  Ocean  between  the  Equator  and 
39°  30"  north  latitude.  This  has  been  copied  from  Anson,  by 
Joseph  Gonzales.  The  fourth  is  a  general  map  of  the  north 
Pacific  Ocean,  showing  Asia  and  America,  and  engraved  by  Manuel 
Rodriguez,  1756. 

This  work  is  considered  the  foundation  of  a  library  of  Cali- 
forniana.  The  maps  have  historical  value  and  represent  surveys 
made  down  to  1754,  although  the  manuscript  was  written  in  1739. 
The  text  was  supplemented  by  fresh  information,  sent  home  from 
the  missions  for  that  purpose,  so  that  the  matter  is  brought  fully 
down  to  date  of  publication.  The  work  was  edited  by  Padre 
Andres  Marcos  Burriel,  although  his  name  does  not  appear.  He 
was  an  editor  of  intelligence  and  ability,  and  one  of  the  three 
volumes  is  devoted  to  geography  and  explorations  of  the  far 
north. 

Other  than  Cabrera,  Burriel  was  the  first  writer  whose  sound 
sense  allowed  him  to  reject  the  apocryphal  voyages  as  unworthy 
of  credit,  to  restrict  northern  geography  to  actual  discoveries, 
and  to  correctly  define  in  print  the  peninsula  and  the  regions  of 
the  Colorado  and  Gila  Rivers  as  far  as  known.  This  work  of 
Venegas  has  been  translated  into  English,  Dutch,  French  and 
German.  The  English  translation  has  been  a  popular  edition,  but, 
it  is  stated,  is  faulty  and  a  considerable  portion  has  been 
omitted.

name),  of  which  only  seven  copies  were  known  to  Edward  Alraack 
in  his  bibliography.  This  copy  contains  the  excessively  rare  leaf 
of  errata.  It  lacks  the  leaf  preceding  the  title-page  with  verses 
signed  "F.  N.  G.,''  and  lacks  at  the  end  the  ''Perfect  Copie  of 
Private  Prayers  used  by  His  Majestie  in  the  Time  of  his  Suffer- 
ings," which  are  very  often  missing.  In  one  of  the  Hoe  copies 
the  '  *  Apophthegmata ' '  has  a  separate  title-page  with  the  imprint 
*  *  Printed  by  William  Du-gard  for  Francis  Eglesfield. ' ' 

The  First  Edition  appeared  almost  before  the  King's  body 
was  cold.  Its  authority  was  disputed  at  the  time,  some  believing 
it  to  be  the  work  of  Bishop  Gauden.  The  book  displays  Charles 
First's  piety  and  sets  forth  an  explanation  of  his  policy.

Philadelphia,  1854. 
8vo,  two  volumes  in  one,  original  morocco. 

On  the  first  fly-leaf  is  written:  *'This  book  was  used  by  Abra- 
ham Lincoln  when  making  his  first  great  anti-slavery  speeches — 
preceding  the  memorable  campaign  with  Douglas.  He  quoted 
largely  from  Clay's  speeches  with  wonderful  effect.  Jas.  W. 
Soniers,  formerly  of  Urbana,  Illinois — then  a  young  lawyer  and 
personal  friend  of  Lincoln."  "In  reading  from  this  book  I  dis- 
tinctly remember  that  Mr.  Lincoln,  for  the  first  time,  used  spec- 
tacles,  apologizing  to  his  audience,  saying  that  he  was  not  as

young  as  he  used  to  be.  This  was,  I  think,  in  the  fall  of  1856. 
James  W.  Somers. " 

The  business  card  of  Mr.  Somers  is  pasted  opposite.  The  sec- 
ond lly-leaf  bears  the  inscription,  **  James  W.  Somers  bought  of 
Thos.  A.  McLaurie,  Urbana,  111." 

Inserted  is  an  endorsement  in  the  autograph  of  Lincoln,  "James 
W.  Somers  I  personally  know  to  be  a  most  worthy  young  man; 
but  whether  he  can  be  promoted,  must  be  left  to  the  Secretary. 
A.  Lincoln,  June  11,  1863." 

Passages  on  twenty-one  pages  have  been  marked  in  blue,  red  or 
black  pencil,  or  ink,  either  by  Lincoln  or  as  having  been  read 
by  Lincoln  in  his  speeches.

The  First  Edition.  The  Earl  of  Shaftesbury,  here  typified  as 
Achitophel,  for  his  share  in  the  conspiracy  to  place  the  young 
Duke  of  Monmouth  (Absalom)  on  the  throne,  was  committed  to 
the  Tower  in  July,  1681,  and  this  satire  appeared  in  November, 
just  before  the  Grand  Jury  acquitted  him.  It  was  undertaken  at 
the  desire  of  Charles  II,  and  Dryden  was  at  work  on  it  for  about 
nine  months.  It  is  the  most  celebrated  of  Dryden 's  political 
satires,  and  was  answered  in  a  parody  called  ' '  Towser  the  Second,  *  * 
said  to  be  by  Henry  Clare;  also  by  the  Duke  of  Buckingham  in

CHARLES   TEMPLETON    CROCKER 

Judges  Head  in  /  Chancery  Lane  near  Fleet- 
ftreet,  1687. 
4to,  full  morocco,  gilt,  hy  Stikeman. 

Collation:    A-S  in  fours;  T,  five  leaves. 

The  excessively  rare  First  Edition.  Contains  the  leaf 
'*  Licensed,  April  the  11th,  1687,"  and  the  three-line  Errata,  on 
the  verso  of  T5.    A  fine  tall  copy. 

This  poem  is  Dryden's  longest,  and  being  a  justification  of 
his  religious  beliefs,  is  written  in  his  best  manner,  many  of  the 
lines  being  amongst  the  most  musical  in  the  English  language.  It 
defends  the  Roman  Catholic  religion  (written  after  Dryden's 
conversion),  and  its  publication  was  deliberately  timed  to  aid 
the  King  (James  II)  in  his  scheme  of  a  Catholic  revival.  The 
key  to  the  characters  is  as  follows:  Hind  (Catholics) ;  Panther 
(Church  of  England) ;  Bear  (The  Independents) ;  Hare 
(Quakers)  ;  Ape  (Atheists)  ;  Lyon  (The  King)  ;  Boar  (Ana- 
baptist) ;  Fox  (Socinian)  ;  Wolf  (Calvinist).  The  publication 
brought  out  Matthew  Prior 's  * '  The  Country  Mouse  and  the  City 
Mouse"  (see  Prior),  a  most  witty  satire  on  Dryden's  mistaken 
effort.  Sir  Walter  Scott  states  that  the  London  edition  is  the 
first,  and  that  the  one  bearing  "Holyrood  House"  is  a  reprint, 
as  the  title  states.

it  was  sent  to  the  editor  of  Frazer's  Magazine,  who  kept  it  a 
year  and  then  returned  it  to  the  author.  Fitzgerald  then  had 
the  poem  printed  by  Quaritch,  the  edition  consisting  of  no  more 
than  two  hundred  and  fifty  copies,  of  which  two  hundred  were 
left  in  the  printer's  hands.  The  work  did  not  sell  and  after  a 
time  was  thrown  in  quantities  on  the  penny  stand.  The  greater 
number  of  copies  were  lightly  thrown  aside  and  destroyed.

coin  was  Assassinated;  Variations  and  Fac- 
similes; Data  concerning  them;  am  A.  L.  S.  by 
O.  II.  Oldroyd;  together  with  some  earlier  bills 
of  interest. 

Thirty-five  items  mounted  on  thick  cartridge 
paper,  and  hound  in  a  ruirrow  folio  volume,  half 
morocco,  gilt. 

The  scarcest  of  the  bills  contained  in  this  volume  is  that  printed 
in  the  afternoon,  after  it  had  been  definitely  ascertained  that 
Lincoln  would  attend  the  performance.  This  is  distinguished  by 
having  inserted  a  patriotic  verse  of  eight  lines,  and  by  the  omis- 
sion of  the  list  of  prices  of  the  seats.  It  is  extremely  rare,  and 
probably  is  the  kind  used  by  Lincoln.  The  regular  bill  for  the 
performance,  printed  in  the  morning,  accompanies  it. 

In  addition  to  these  two  there  is  another  variety,  with  the 
imprint  of  Polkinhorn,  in  which  the  word  "chairs'*  is  omitted 
after  "orchestra"  in  the  list  of  prices  of  admission,  and  reading 
"Sensational  Drama,"  instead  of  "Sensation  Drama,"  as  in 
the  others.  This  bill  and  the  other  issue  without  the  verse  have 
been  declared  on  authority  to  have  been  found  in  the  box  after 
Lincoln  was  carried  out,  but  it  is  natural  to  suppose  that  the 
variety  with  the  verse  especially  printed  in  his  honor  would  have 
been  handed  to  the  President  and  his  party. 

The  other  bills  in  the  volume  include  facsimiles  by  other  print- 
ers; the  issues  of  Polkinhorn  bill  announcing  the  attendance  of 
the  President;  bills  for  previous  performances  in  the  same  week; 
issues  from  October  19th  to  26th,  when  Junius  Brutus  Booth 
appeared  in  the  cast;  two  bills  with  Mrs.  D.  P.  Bowers'  name, 
and  others.  The  whole  embraces  every  variety  of  the  "Lincoln 
Bill,"  including  originals  and  forgeries.

CATALOGUE   OF   THE   LIBRARY   OP 

GOLDSMITH  (Oliver). —The  Deserted  Village. 
A  Poem.    By  Dr.  Goldsmith. 

Lond. :  Printed  for  W.  Griffin,  at  Garrick's 
Head,  in  Catherine-Street,  Strand,  1770. 

6vo,  full  brown  morocco,  gilt. 

There  were  six  quarto  editions  published  by  Griffin  in  1770. 
The  first  of  the  three  small  octavo  editions  published  in  1770 
may  be  most  easily  identified  by  the  misprint  in  line  37  of  the 
poem,  which  there  reads:  ** Amidst  thy  bowers  the  tyrant's  head 
is  seen."  In  all  later  editions  this  line  is  corrected  to  read: 
"Hand"  instead  of  "head." 

This  copy  has  been  corrected,  and  is  therefore  not  the  earliest 
issue,  of  which  only  two  copies  are  known. 

GOLDSMITH  (Oliver).— She  Stoops  to  Con- 
quer; or.  The  Mistakes  of  a  Night.  A  Comedy. 
As  it  is  acted  at  the  Theatre-Royal  in  Covent 
Garden. 

London:  Printed  for  F.  Newbery 1773. 

8vo,  full  morocco. 

The  First  Edition,  first  issue,  with  the  half-title,  Dedication  to 
Dr.  Johnson,  Prologue  by  David  Garrick,  Epilogues  by  Dr.  Gold- 
smith and  J.  Craddock,  Esq.;  the  price  at  foot  of  title,  the  hiatus 
in  pagination  72-81,  also,  the  many  other  errors  in  pagination. 
The  last  leaf  is  number  114.  The  word  "Diggory"  is  omitted 
from  the  Dramatis  PersonsB.  P.  9,  catchword  ** scene"  is  printed 
in  small  type.  Signature  Kl,  P.  65,  is  misprinted  I,  and  its 
pagination  is  misprinted.  The  headline  of  this  page  is  also  mis- 
printed "A  Comedy."  Catchword  P.  100  (reverse  of  N.  2), 
*  *  Tony ' '  is  misprinted  for  * '  Hastings. ' ' 

This  play  is  said  to  have  succeeded  on  account  of  Dr.  Johnson's 
frequent  and  hearty  laughs  the  first  night. 

GOLDSMITH  (Oliver).— The  Haunch  of  Ven-

either  before  the  number  of  the  plate  had  been  etched  upon  it, 
or  after  the  number  had  been  placed,  which  Goya  did  on  the 
right  side  of  the  drawing.

leaves  of  the  Voyage  to  Cadiz  in  1596  (pages  607-619,  of  Vol.  I). 
It  is  an  unusual  feature  to  find  the  Voyage  to  Cadiz  inserted,  as 
it  does  not  really  belong  to  the  1599  issue  of  Vol.  I. 

On  the  title-page  of  the  1598  edition  of  Vol.  I,  the  Cadiz 
voyage  was  announced,  but  the  leaves  containing  it  were  sup- 
pressed by  order  of  Queen  Elizabeth  after  the  disgrace  of  the 
Earl  of  Essex.  In  the  issue  of  1599,  it  was  not  intended  to 
appear,  and  all  mention  of  it  is  omitted  from  the  title. 

In  Vol.  I,  pages  187-208,  is  a  curious  poetical  treatise  entitled 
"The  processe  of  the  Libel  of  English  policie,  exhorting  all 
England  to  keepe  the  sea,''  which  is  not  in  the  first  edition.

CATALOGUE    OF   THE   LIBEARY   OF 

This  copy  has  high  association  interest,  having  been  in  several 
noted  collections,  as  follows: 

1.  Thomas  Warton,  eminent  historian  of  English  poetry,  and 
poet-laureate.  There  is  a  lengthy  transcript  from  Edward  Phil- 
lips' **Theatrum  Poetarum,"  1675,  regarding  the  work,  written 
entirely  in  Warton 's  autograph,  on  margin  of  signature  K2.  (Re- 
bound after  his  ownership,  as  he  died  in  1790). 

2.  Rev.  Thomas  Corser,  author  of  *  *  Collectanea  Anglo-Poetica, ' ' 
where  in  Part  VII  of  that  monumental  work  (p.  200)  he  gives  a 
very  extended  description  of  the  work,  stating  that  it  was  bound 
by  Roger  Payne. 

3.  The  Earl  of  Crawford.  Number  1033  in  the  catalogue  of 
that  famous  collection  dispersed  in  London  in  1887,  describes  the 
book  as  "mor.  tooled,  leather  joints,  gt.  edges,  by  C.  Lewis,  in 
imitation  of  Roger  Payne."  The  binding  is  not  signed,  and 
there  seems  to  be  no  evidence  to  prove  the  conclusion  of  the  state- 
ment made  in  the  Crawford  catalogue  that  it  is  *'in  imitation  of 
Roger  Payne." 

The  volume  has  a  genuine  Roger  Payne  binding;  a  view  in 
accord  with  that  of  two  of  the  most  eminent  collectors  and  author- 
ities in  this  country.  In  addition  it  has  the  interest  of  being 
the  identical  copy  mentioned  in  Dibdin's  ''Library  Companion," 
1825,  Vol.  II,  page  711,  as  follows:  ''Mr.  William  Combes  of 
Henley,  a  gentleman  who  collects  with  no  inconsiderable  ardour, 
is  the  fortunate  owner  of  Joseph  Warton 's  own  copy  of  Herrick's 
Hesperides — and  he  carries  this  book  in  his  right  hand  coat  pocket, 
and  the  first  edition  of  Walton's  Complete  Angler  in  his  left, 
when,  with  tapering  rod  and  trembling  float,  he  enjoys  his 
favorite  diversion  of  angling  on  the  banks  of  the  Thames. ' ' 

There  is  also  a  note  in  this  copy,  by  Mr.  Combes,  respecting 
some  errors  in  the  pagination. 

This  copy  was  in  the  Earl  of  Crawford's  library  in  London.

Small  4to,  original  vellum,  uncut,  with  ties. 

Only  two  hundred  copies  were  printed,  the  first  at  the  Press. 

This  famous  Press  is  now  discontinued.  The  whole  of  the  wood- 
blocks were  sent  to  the  British  Museum,  on  condition  that  they 
were  not  to  be  used  for  the  space  of  one  hundred  years.  This 
proviso,  and  the  fact  that  the  master  mind,  and  also  one  of  the 
able  illustrators  (the  late  Sir  Edward  Burne-Jones)  have  both 
passed  away,  make  the  volumes  issued  by  William  Morris  extremely 
valuable.  These  publications  are  among  the  most  magnificent 
specimens  of  typographic  art  that  have  ever  been  produced,  and 
stand  for  all  that  is  luxurious,  artistic  and  beautiful.

In  response  to  a  "cheeky"  letter  from  the  editors,  Kipling 
wrote  a  very  amusing  epistle  of  advice,  which  has  since  become

text  of  this  letter,  with  comments  on  the  contributor.  No.  14 
boasts  of  the  original  appearance  of  Max  Beerbohm's  well-known 
caricature  of  Kipling.  With  the  above  copy  are  the  originals 
of  these  contributions.  There  is  the  A.  L.  S.  from  Kipling  in 
reply,  and  the  letters  from  the  editors,  B.  Medhurst  and  G.  Chin- 
nery.  The  original  pen-and-ink  sketch  by  Beerbohm,  and  the

manuscript  on  inserted  sheets,  and  the  indications  for  their  posi-

Collation:  A-D,  in  fours;  E,  six  leaves;  F-12,  in  fours.  As 
originally  printed,  E  comprised  only  four  leaves,  but  it  being 
discovered  that  an  additional  set  of  Latin  verses  had  been  omitted, 
they  were  printed  on  an  extra  sheet  of  two  leaves  (the  first  marked 
E4),  which  was  inserted  between  E3  and  the  original  E4. 

The  First  Edition.  The  occasion  of  this  collection  of  verses 
was  the  drowning  of  Edward  King  during  his  passage  from 
Chester  in  1637,  when  the  ship  was  lost  in  the  Irish  Sea  and  sev- 
eral of  the  passengers  perished.  The  verses  were  written  in  love

the  book  entitled  *  *  Lyeidas ' '  and  signed  with  the  initials  *  *  J.  M., ' '

8vo,  contemporary  sheep,  uncut. 

Collation:    A,  four  leaves;  A-H4,  in  eights;  A-F4,  in  eights. 

The  first  collected  edition  of  Milton's  poems,  bearing  his  name 
in  full  for  the  first  time.  The  frontispiece  portrait  by  Marshall 
is  the  first  published  of  Milton,  setat.  21,  with  a  Greek  inscription, 
intended  by  the  poet  as  a  satire  on  Marshall  for  representing  him 
as  older.     Translated,  it  reads: 

"Will  anyone  say  that  this  portrait  was  the  work  of  an  in- 
genious hand ;  my  very  friends,  looking  at  mine  own  natural  coun- 
tenance, know  not  whom  it  represents,  but  laugh  at  the  awkward 
imitation  of  the  idiotic  artist." 

There  are  two  varieties  of  title-page,  with  imprimatur  con- 
taining "S.  Pauls"  or  "Pauls."  There  is  nothing  to  show 
priority,  except  that  **S.  Pauls"  is  rarer.  The  two  parts  of  the 
volume  have  separate  pagination,  with  a  separate  title  in  Latin 
for  the  second  part. 

This  volume  contains  all  the  poems  written  by  Milton  up  to 
the  date  of  its  publication.  Excepting  * '  Lycidas, "  "  Comus, ' '  and 
the  epitaph  on  Shakespeare,  all  the  pieces  were  here  printed  for 
the  first  time. 

This  copy  contains  the  bookplate  of  Edwd.  Carleton  Arundel. 
On  the  fly-leaf  is  written  "Edwd.  Carleton  1738."

in  answer  to  the  book  entitled  EIKii'N  BASIAIKH',  believed  at 
the  time  to  have  been  written  by  Charles  I,  though  John  Gauden 
was  probably  its  author.  After  the  Restoration  it  was  ordered 
by  the  House  of  Commons,  on  June  16,  1660,  to  be  burned  by  the 
common  hangman,  together  with  the  "Defensio  Pro  Populo  Angli-

Elelof  and  Clements  R.  Markham.    Vol.  I. 

Stockholm,  1889. 

Folio,  half  morocco. 

This  work  contains  fifty-one  large  maps  and  eighty-four  of  a 
smaller  size,  reproducing  the  rarest  and  most  important  maps 
printed  in  the  fifteenth  and  sixteenth  centuries. 

A  scientific  work  of  great  value  on  the  subject  of  cartography. 
Jomard  and  Santarem  produced  a  somewhat  imperfect  volume  of 
an  '  *  Illustrated  History  of  Cartography, ' '  treating  irregularly  upon 
the  manuscript  sources;  Nordenskiold 's  Atlas  might  be  called  the 
the  complete  second  volume  dealing  with  the  entire  printed  or 
engraved  material.  It  is  indispensable  as  furnishing  by  far  the 
best  material  for  studying  the  growth  of  geographical  science,  and 
the  gradual  increase  of  our  knowledge  of  the  surface  of  the  globe.

Nuremberg:  Anthonius  Koberger,  1493. 

Folio,  full  dark  brown  crushed  levant  morocco, 
gilt,  by  Stikeman, 

Collation:  twenty  unnumbered  leaves,  leaves  I  to  CCLXVI 
(1-266),  six  unnumbered  leaves  (the  sixth  blank),  leaves  CCLXVII 
to  CCC  (267-300). 

The  First  Edition.  With  upwards  of  two  thousand  woodcuts  by 
Wohlgemuth  and  Pleydenwurff,  including  numerous  large  views  of 
many  celebrated  genealogical  trees,  maps,  etc.  Printed  in  Gothic 
type. 

Among  the  woodcuts  are  remarkable  the  portrait  of  Pope  Joan, 
which  is  often  mutilated,  but  perfect  in  this  copy;  a  Dance  of 
Death,  a  Map  of  the  World,  and  a  large  Map  of  Europe.  Michael 
Wolgemuth,  one  of  the  designers  of  the  woodcuts,  was  the  master 
of  Albrecht  Diirer. 

On  the  verso  of  1-290  is  a  brief  account  of  the  Portuguese 
voyage  of  discovery  along  the  coast  of  Africa  in  1483  (1484), 
under  the  direction  of  Diego  Lam  and  Martin  Beham  of  Nuremberg, 
which  has  been  used  as  a  basis  for  the  unwarranted  theory  that  the 
expedition  reached  America. 

This  is  a  fine  large  copy,  measuring  seventeen  and  six-eighths 
by  eleven  and  seven-eighths  inches,  and  having  the  six  leaves  "de 
Sarmatia,"  and  the  four  blank  leaves;  of  these  one  is  the  last  of 
the  unfoliated  supplement  of  **de  Sarmatia,''  and  other  three  are 
foliated,  CCLVIIII,  CCLX,  CCLXI,  and  were  left  blank,  so  that 
posterity,  down  to  the  end  of  the  sixth  age  of  the  world,  might  be 
able  to  add  notes  and  remarks.  The  Colophon  is  on  the  verso  of 
the  last  leaf.

**New  York — May  21.  My  Dear  Mr.  Willis,  Seeing  that  you, 
now  and  then,  published  Original  Papers  in  the  'New  Mirror,'  I 
have  ventured  to  send  you  a  Tale  and  an  Essay  for  consideration. 
If  you  could  afford  me  anything  for  them,  or  for  either  of  them,  I 
would  feel  highly  honored  by  their  appearance  in  your  paper.  I 
have  long  been  exceedingly  anxious  to  make  the  acquaintance  of 
the  author  of  'Melanie, '  and,  more  especially,  of  a  little  poem 
entitled  'Unseen  Spirits,'  and  would  have  called  upon  you  per- 
sonally, but  that  I  am  ill  in  health  and  wretchedly  depressed  in 
spirits.  By  and  bye  I  will  try  and  find  you  at  the  office  of  the 
'Mirror.'  Will  you  please  reply,  at  your  leisure,  through  the 
P.  Office?  Should  you  not  be  able  to  accept  the  articles,  I  would 
be  obliged  if  you  would  retain  them  until  I  see  you.  Yours  with 
the  highest  respect,  Edgar  A.  Poe.  N.  P.  Willis  Esqre."  Ad-

Prior's  first  publication,  written  while  a  student  at  Cambridge. 
This  work  is  a  satire  directed  against  Dryden's  **The  Hind  and 
the  Panther,"  and  it  occasioned  him  great  annoyance.  Although 
Montagu's  name  is  always  associated  with  Prior's  in  the  author- 
ship, it  is  probable  that  he  wrote  the  Preface  only.

Contains  on  the  fifth  leaf  of  the  volume  a  second  title-page, 
identical  with  the  first  except  for  the  omission  of  the  date.  This 
is  frequently  missing.  It  is  preceded  by  two  prefatory  poems  by 
John  Warren  and  Leonard  Digges,  the  latter  being  a  most  valuable 
contribution  to  our  knowledge  concerning  Shakespeare  and  his 
plays,  showing  that  his  dramas  always  brought  crowded  houses 
while  Ben  Jonson's  ''Volpone" — the  most  popular  of  all  dramatic 
works  by  others  than  Shakespeare — sometimes  scarcely  defrayed 
the  ' '  sea-coale  fire  and  doore-keepers. ' ' 

The  last  eleven  leaves  are  occupied  by  '*An  Addition  of  some 
excellent  Poems,  to  Those  Precedent,  of  renowned  Shakespeare,  by

John  Milton,  Robert  Herrick,  and  others.

The  book  was  privately  printed  and  never  intended  for  anything 
but  private  circulation.  After  his  separation  from  Harriet  West- 
brook,  Shelley  tore  out  the  dedication,  title  and  imprint,  in  the 
copies  that  remained  undistributed.  The  notes  also  excited  per- 
secution of  the  author.    Very  few  copies  are  found  intact.

the  title,  dedication,  and  two  leaves  in  facsimile,  and  contains 
the  rare  blank  leaf  before  the  title,  usually  missing.  There  is  a 
slight  difference  in  the  imprint  of  the  title-page  in  some  copies,

When  Queen  Elizabeth  visited  Sidney  with  her  displeasure  in 
1580,  he  withdrew  to  his  sister's,  the  Countess  of  Pembroke. 
There  he  wrote  the  ''Arcadia,"  said  to  have  been  suggested  by 
the  "Arcadia"  of  Sanzarro,  a  Neapolitan  poet. 

The  influence  of  this  romance  on  contemporary  literature  was 
remarkable.  Among  Sidney's  imitators  were  Shakespeare,  Spenser, 
Beaumont  and  Fletcher. 

This  copy  contains  many  signatures  and  scribblings  in  contem-

M.E.J.,  Capt.  Leigh,  Mrs.  R.  L.  S.,  Mrs.  Strong  and  S.  Balfour.

only  thirty-five  copies.

STEVENSON  (Robert  Louis).— Autograph 
Letter  Signed.  To  Philip  Gilbert  Hamerton.  La 
Solitude,  Hyeres-les  Palmiers,  Var,  n.  d. 

8vo,  eight  pages, 

"My  dear  Hamerton,  I  have  been  in  a  crazy  state  as  I  should 
long  ago  have  answered  your  kind  letter.  I  have  not  been  able  to 
read  at  all,  or  to  but  write  a  little,  for  ever  so  long;  my  eyes 
having  played  me  a  trick.  In  short  I  am  one  of  the  handsomest 
wrecks  upon  the  shore  of  literature.  However,  we  keep  the  galley- 
fire  alight  and  beat  to  quarters  daily,  as  though  she  still  ploughed 
the  main  full  charged  with  England 's  thunder.  If  you  come  south, 
do  give  us  a  visit.  We  cannot  take  you  into  the  house  for  reasons 
best  known  to  the  architect.  But  we  should  be  so  pleased  to  see 
you  and  Mrs.  Hamerton,  or  yourself  alone,  and  we  could  talk  to 
you,  and  give  you  some  dinner,  and  find  a  room  for  you  within 
hail.  This  is  to  be  thought  of:  and  if  not  now,  then  after,  to  be 
put  ruthlessly  in  act.  I  think  it  not  unlikely  that  I  may  fall  on 
you  this  year;  but  all  hangs  upon  my  health,  whose  squirrel-like 
evolutions  supplies  me  with  unfailing  entertainment.  How  little 
are  we  grateful  to  the  gods!  The  invalid-bore,  that  well-known 
person  with  the  symptoms,  is  a  most  beautiful  instance  of  the 
kindly  compensations  of  our  destiny.  I  somewhat  envy  you  your 
writing;  I  shall  never  be  in  a  boat  again,  nor  yet  in  a  theatre,  I 
fear;  a  short  walk,  a  long  talk — these  are  what  is  left  me,  and 
very  good  things,  too,  at  least  the  talk.  For  a  short  walk,  with 
definite  limits,  is  against  the  very  genius  of  walking.  The  amuse- 
ment is  either  to  ramble  or  to  travel.  New  views,  another  hill-top, 
just  down  yon  dingle — ^ha!  but  another  wood,  I  must  go  so  far! 
That  is  the  spirit  of  the  walker;  and  how  can  he  attain  to  this  in 
the  square  half-mile  around  his  house,  much  of  it  visible  perhaps 
from  his  windows.  Well,  we  have  adjusting  eyes  and  an  adjust- 
able mind.  We  change  the  sliding  scale  of  fancy;  and  in  my  mile- 
long  walks,  I  have  at  times  got  into  so  rich  a  vein  of  self- 
deception,  that  I  had  visited  empires  and  continents  when  I  re- 
turned. Life  is  the  art  of  self-deception — is  that  new  or  old?  I 
am  a  great  self -deceiver ;  and  a  more  valuable  quality,  I  know  not. 

Pray  remember  me  kindly  to  yours,  my  dear  Hamerton,  Yours 
very  sincerely,  Robert  Louis  Stevenson."

The  portrait  is  not  in  the  earliest  state,  as  the  inscription  should

is  not  included  in  any  of  Mr.  Swinburne's  collected  volumes;  and, 
considering  the  controversial  nature  of  the  subject  treated,  it  is  in 
the  highest  degree  improbable  that  it  will  ever  be  revived.  It

Marshall ....  and  J.  and  J.  Jackson,  Louth,  1827. 

12mo,  original  boards,  with  paper  label,  uncut. 

The  First  Edition.  The  extremely  rare  first  appearance  in  book 
form  of  Lord  Tennyson's  poems.     An  immaculate  copy. 

All  three  brothers,  Alfred,  Charles  and  Frederick,  contributed 
to  it,  but,  it  is  said,  bound  themselves  never  to  reveal  who  wrote 
this  or  that  piece.  After  Lord  Tennyson 's  death,  his  son  Hallam, 
with  Frederick,  one  of  the  brothers,  endeavored  to  determine  the 
respective  authorships,  and  decided  that,  of  the  one  hundred  and 
three  poems,  forty-two  were  by  Alfred,  forty-eight  by  Charles, 
three  by  Frederick,  and  the  remainder  doubtful.  The  brothers 
were  only  schoolboys  at  the  time  the  book  was  published,  and  ob- 
tained twenty  pounds  for  the  copyright,  which,  however,  was  only 
on  the  condition  that  it  be  taken  out  in  books.  None  of  the 
poems  were  ever  reprinted  by  Lord  Tennyson.

College. 

8vo,  full  red  morocco. 

The  First  Edition.  The  correct  reading  of  line  nine,  page 
twelve,  is  only  found  in  this  edition.  Arthur  Hallam  was  one  of 
the  unsuccessful  competitors  for  the  prize  won  by  Tennyson.

MDCCCXXXIIL 

12m0f  original  hoards,  paper  labels  uncut. 

The  First  Edition.  A  perfect  copy  containing  the  page  of  ad- 
vertisement. This  edition  consisted  of  four  hundred  and  fifty 
copies. 

The  famous  "0  Darling  Room"  volume.  This  poem  with  sev- 
eral others  never  appeared  in  any  later  edition,  while  others  were 
very  considerably  altered.  It  was  fallen  upon  by  the  critics  merci- 
lessly, and  the  author's  excisions  and  alterations  showed  that  he 
had  good  sense  in  addition  to  poetical  ability,  when  the  next  col- 
lected edition  appeared. 

This,  being  Tennyson's  second  volume  of  verse,  contains  for 
the  first  time  among  its  thirty  poems,  '  *  The  Lady  of  Shalott, '  * 
''The  Miller's  Daughter,"  ''The  Palace  of  Art,"  "The  May 
Queen, "  "  The  Lotus  Eaters, ' '  and  a  ' '  Dream  of  Fair  Women ' ' ; 
also  the  retort  to  Christopher  North  on  his  criticism  of  Tennyson 's 
first  volume,  a  retort  which  Tennyson  afterwards  refers  to  as  a 
"silly  squib,"  and  the  sonnet  on  Buonaparte. 

This  is  the  volume  of  which  Arthur  Hallam  wrote  while  it  was 
in  the  publisher's  hands:  "Moxon  is  in  ecstasies  with  the  May 
Queen ;  he  says  the  volume  must  make  a  great  sensation. '  *

six  copies  were  printed,  and  only  two  others  are  known,  one  owned 
by  Mr.  T.  J.  Wise  of  London,  and  the  other  by  Mr.  J.  A.  Spoor 
of  Chicago.  This  copy  is  far  superior  in  condition  to  Mr.  Spoor  'a 
and  equal  to  Mr.  Wise's  in  size. 

"The  Lover's  Tale"  of  1833  is  the  earliest  in  order  of  date  of 
the  series  of  Tennyson's  trial  books.  Probably  with  the  sole  ex- 
ception of  Shelley's  "Necessity  of  Atheism"  and  "Original 
Poetry  by  Victor  and  Cazire,"  it  is  the  most  interesting  and  val- 
uable first  edition  in  English  nineteenth  century  literature. 
Written  in  1828,  in  the  autumn  of  1832,  the  first  two  parts  were 
set  up  in  type,  accompanied  by  the  thirty  other  pieces  which 
eventually  formed  the  "Poems"  of  1833.  Before  the  sheets  were 
printed,  Tennyson  concluded  that  *  *  The  Lover 's  Tale ' '  was  in  need 
of  more  thorough  revision.  He  then  withdrew  it  from  the  thirty 
sets  of  minor  verses,  and  reserved  it  for  publication  at  some  future 
date.

16mo,  two  volumes,  original  boards,  uncut, 
paper  labels. 

The  First  Edition,  which  consisted  of  eight  hundred  copies. 

The  second  volume,  with  one  exception,  consists  of  the  poems 
previously  unpublished.  The  remaining  poems,  reprinted  from  the 
edition  of  1833,  were  much  altered,  and  seven  new  pieces  were 
added  to  the  first  volume. 

Vol.  I  contains,  at  pages  77-86,  the  whole  of  the  proof  sheets  of 
"The  Lady  of  Shalott.'^  The  numbering  of  the  pages  of  the 
proofs,  as  well  as  the  setting  of  the  text  and  the  composition  of 
the  poem,  show  great  differences  from  the  published  text.  The 
proofs  show  a  number  of  corrections  of  a  slight  nature,  by  Sped- 
ding  probably,  but  on  page  76  of  the  proof  (86  of  published 
volume),  Tennyson  has  added  a  whole  line  in  his  handwriting, 
and  one  word  in  another,  and  also  cancelled  a  line. 

There  are  also  four  proof  pages  of  ** Mariana  in  the  South,*' 
showing  variations  and  three  slight  alterations  in  Tennyson 's  hand- 
writing, also  the  proof  of  the  short  poem  ''Circumstance." 

These  proofs  came  from  James  Spedding,  the  friend  of  Tenny- 
son and  also  the  reader  of  his  poems.  For  a  long  time  Tennyson 
rarely  published  anything  without  first  having  submitted  it  to 
Spedding.

The  Tower  which  Tennyson's  poem  commemorates  was  erected 
by  Lord  Dufiferin  in  memory  of  his  mother.  In  a  letter  to  Tenny- 
son, September  24,  1861,  he  says  in  part:     ''Now  there  is  only

one  thing  wanting  to  make  it  a  perfect  little  gem  of  architecture 
and  decoration,  and  that  is  a  'voice.'  It  is  now  ten  years  since 
it  was  built,  and  all  that  time  it  has  stood  silent.  Yet,  if  he 
chose,  there  is  one  person  in  the  world  able  to  endow  it  with  this 
priceless  gift,  and  by  sending  me  some  short  distich  for  it,  to 
crown  it  forever  with  a  glory  it  cannot  otherwise  obtain,  and 
render  it  a  memorial  of  the  personal  friendship  which  its  builder 
felt  for  the  great  poet  of  our  age." 

The  book  itself  was  printed  in  1850  or  1851.  As  originally  made 
up  it  seems  to  have  consisted  of  four  leaves,  the  last  blank  with 
an  engraved  title,  printed  separately  on  heavy  paper,  the  whole 
enclosed  in  a  glazed  paper  cover,  with  blank  fly-leaf  at  back  and 
front.  The  first  leaf  has  printed  on  the  recto  in  red  and  black,  an 
inscription  signed  by  "Catherine  Hamilton,"  followed  by  the 
names  of  thirteen  witnesses.  Page  2  is  blank.  Pages  3  to  5  are 
filled  by  verses  written  by  Lord  Dufferin's  mother  and  given  to 
him  when  he  came  of  age.  Pages  6,  7  and  8  were  blank.  On 
receipt  of  Tennyson's  verses,  a  new  leaf  seems  to  have  been 
printed,  with  an  inscription  relative  to  the  completion  of  the  tower. 
Tennyson's  verses  are  on  verso  of  this  leaf.  The  blank  leaf  at 
the  end  was  cut  out,  and  this  new  leaf  mounted  on  the  stub.  In 
1870  Dufferin  had  another  leaf  printed,  containing  a  poem  by 
Robert  Browning.  Tennyson's  poem  was  first  reprinted  by  him 
in  ''Tiresias"  in  1885. 

The  present  copy  does  not  contain  Browning's  sonnet.

the  Prince  of  Wales. 

The  poem  was  reprinted,  with  alterations  and  additions,  in

**And  over  all  her  babe  and  her  the  jewels 
Of  many  generations  of  his  house 
Sparkled  and  flash  'd,  for  he  had  decked  them  out 
As  for  a  solemn  sacrifice  of  love — 
So  she  came  in: — I  am  long  in  telling  it — 
I  never  yet  beheld  a  thing  so  strange, 
Sad,  sweet  and  strange  together — floated  in — 
While  all  the  guests  in  mute  amazement  rose — 
And  slowly  pacing  to  the  middle  hall, 
Before  the  board,  there  paused  and  stood."

CHARLES   TEMPLETON    CROCKER 

The  First  Issue  of  the  First  Edition,  and  one  of  the  finest  copies 
in  America,  equalled  by  possibly  only  three  others,  which  are  in 
private  collections  in  New  York. 

(1)  The  yellow  wrappers  are  complete. 

(2)  The  advertisements  and  "Slips"  that  were  so  frequently 

destroyed  or  omitted  as  the  work  grew  in  popularity,  are 
each  in  their  proper  "Number." 

(3)  The  interesting  first  issue  "points";  the  "Steyne"  wood- 

cut, and  others,  are  here  without  exception. 

(4)  The  original  tissues  are  practically  all  between  the  plates. 

Livingston's  bibliography  of  "Vanity  Fair"  (Boston  Tran- 
cript  Collation)  was  in  error  in  certain  instances.  It  states  the 
inside  front  wrapper  of  Nos.  I  to  XIII,  should  read  "Contents  of 
No.  I,"  etc.  In  the  first  five  wrappers  of  the  present  copy,  there 
is  simply  the  word  "Contents."  This  is  quite  correct,  the  num- 
bers being  added  subsequently,  evidently  for  the  sake  of  uni- 
formity. 

The  Boston  Transcript  Collation  requires  the  absence  of  the 
square  bracket  in  front  of  the  price  on  wrapper  XVI.  This  occurs 
only  on  undated  numbers.     This  copy  is  undated  and  unbracketted. 

This  Collation  also  states  that  the  first  line  inside  of  the  back 
wrapper  of  Part  X  should  have  the  words  * '  Novels ' '  and  * '  Tales ' ' 
in  capitals,  differing  from  Part  IX,  where  these  words  were  evi- 
dently in  even  type  with  the  remainder  of  the  line.  This  copy 
agrees  in  this  respect,  though  some  copies  are  known  having  the 
inside  of  the  back  wrappers  of  these  parts  identical. 

The  Brayton  Ives  copy  had  advertisements  in  Part  IV,  four 
pages, — a  repetition  of  the  advertisements  in  Part  II.  In  this 
copy,  the  advertisements  are  different. 

Agreeing  with  the  Boston  Transcript  Collation,  the  advertise- 
ments at  the  end  of  Part  XVI  are  on  tinted  paper.* 

Following  is  a  complete  and  detailed  collation  of  this  copy: —

CHARLES   TEMPLETON   CROCKER 


**  Madam,  By  the  last  Post  I  had  the  honor  to  receive  your 
favour  of  the  25th  ult.  from  Charleston,  and  pray  you  to  be  per- 
suaded that  no  one  could  hear  of  the  improvinjar  state  of  Mr.  Izard 's 
health,  and  prospect  of  his  recovery,  with  more  pleasure  because 
few,  if  any  of  his  acquaintances,  regretted  the  loss  of  the  first 
more  than  I  did.  On  the  prospect  of  the  latter  I  sincerely  con- 
gratulate you,  as  I  do  on  the  safe  return  of  your  son;  who,  if 
circumstances  had  permitted,  I  should  have  seen  with  pleasure  at 
this  place,  on  his  way  to  Carolina. 

"If  I  rightly  understand  the  grd.  of  Mr.  Izard's  complaint,  I 
persuade  myself  that  both  you  and  he,  upon  a  reconsideration  of  the 
case,  and  the  consequences  of  a  contrary  principle  in  the  decisions 
of  the  Executive  thereon,  will  readily  perceive  that  no  injustice 
has  been  done  him. 

"Usage,  and  the  Policy  of  States  in  the  establishment  of  new 
Corps,  are  independent  of  &  unconnected  with  the  old.  Officers 
and  privates  come  in  together; — ^the  former  as  a  means  to  obtain 
the  latter,  and  rarely  is  otherwise;  except  to  reward  meritorious 
officers,  distinguished  for  signal  services,  who  cannot  be  advanced 
in  their  own  corps  out  of  the  usual  ro(u)tine  of  promotion; — but 
this,  when  done,  is  considered  as  a  favour,  not  claimed  as  a  right; 
and  sometimes  proves  the  reverse,  by  throwing  them  out  of  Ser- 
vice altogether, — New  corps  being  the  first  for  disbandment. — 

"But  there  is  another,  and  more  interesting  point,  in  which  to 
view  this  subject;  and  proves  beyond  contradiction,  the  impos- 
sibility of  Mr.  Izards  claim. 

"In  Military,  more  so  perhaps  than  in  other  matters,  Princi- 
ples must  be  established  &  adhered  to,  or  discontents  wd.  be  end- 
less, and  disorder  great.  What  is  right  in  one  case  must  be  right 
in  every  case,  similarly  circumstanced.  Upon  the  principle  then 
that  Mr.  Izard  complains — ^viz — that  it  was  injurious  to  make 
Captains  of  those  who  had  never  served,  in  the  new  Corps,  while 
there  were  officers  of  inferior  grades  in  the  old,  let  me  ask  what 
would  be  the  operation  of  it  in  the  Army  about  to  be  raised ;  for  it 
applys  as  forceably  to  the  Infantry,  as  to  the  Artillery! 

"At  present,  we  have  four  Regiments  of  Infantry  in  existence, 
twelve  are  voted  to  be  immediately  raised,  and  if  circumstances 
should  require  the  Provisional  Army,  nearly  double  that  number 
will  be  wanted  in  addition. — ^Would  it  not  be  a  matter  of  surprise 
then,  and  absolutely  defeat  the  measures  of  Government,  if  no 
new  Officers  were  to  be  appointed  in  this  Army  until  those  of  the 
four  Regiments  were  first  provided  for? — Certain  I  am.  Madam, 
that  your  good  sense  would  be  the  first  to  cry  yes.  The  case  of 
Mr.  Izard  is  exactly  similar,  although  the  evil  would  not  be  in 
existence. — 

"My  wishes  that  Congress  would  establish  a  Military  Academy, 
and  Corps  of  Engineers  have  often  been  communicated  to  that 
Body,  and  it  is  to  be  regretted  that  the  want  of  many  useful 
Institutions  are  not  seen  until  they  are  felt.

WASHINGTON  (George).— Autograph  Letter 
Signed,  to  Tobias  Lear.  Mount  Vernon,  June 
29th,  1788. 

Folio,  one  page, 

A  most  interesting  letter  from  Washington  to  his  private  secre- 
tary, Tobias  Lear.  The  letter  refers  to  the  ratification  of  the 
Constitution  by  the  Virginia  Legislature  in  1788.  The  Conven- 
tion met  on  June  2d,  1788,  and  the  Constitution  was  finally  ratified 
on  June  25th.  This  delay  made  Virginia  the  tenth  of  the  **ten 
affirmatives''  as  New  Hampshire  had  already  ratified  on  June 
21st,  by  a  vote  of  57  to  46.  In  the  second  paragraph,  **Col. 
Henley,  express  from  New  York  on  his  way  to  Eichmond,"  un- 
doubtedly refers  to  the  special  express  arranged  by  Hamilton  and 
Madison  between  Concord  and  Richmond,  via  Poughkeepsie,  so 
that  whichever  state  decided  first  the  news  might  be  used  to  in- 
fluence the  other. 

In  paragraph  three,  *  *  some  recommendatory  or  declatory  rights, 
etc."  These  were,  as  a  matter  of  fact,  offered  the  next  day  by 
Henry  and  others.     The  letter  follows: 

"Dear  Sir;  Your  letter  of  the  2d  instant  came  duly  to  hand, 
and  obliged  me  by  its  communications. — 

"On  Friday  last,  (by  the  Stage),  advice  of  the  decision  of  the 
long  and  warmly  (with  temper)  contested  question -in  the  Conven- 
tion of  this  State,  was  received — 89  ayes — 79  noes,  without  pre- 
vious amendments; — and  in  the  course  of  that  night.  Col.  Henley, 
express  from  New  York  on  his  way  to  Richmond,  arrived  in  Alex- 
andria with  the  news  of  the  ratification  by  the  State  of  New 
Hampshire — This  flood  of  good  news  almost  at  the  same  moment, 
gave  abundant  cause  for  rejoicing  in  a  place,  the  Inhabitants  of 
which  are  all  federal. — The  Cannon  roared,  and  the  Town  was 
illuminated.  Yesterday,  as  magnificent  a  dinner  as  Mr.  Wise  could 
provide  (to  which  this  family  were  invited  and  went),  was  dis- 
played before  the  principal  male  Inhabitants  of  the  Town;  whose 
Ears  were  saluted  at  every  quaff  with  the  Melody  of  federal  Guns. 
And  on  Monday,  the  business  it  seems  is  to  recommense  and  finish, 
with  fiddling  &  dancing,  for  the  amusement  &  benefit  of  the  Ladies. 

*  *  The  final  question  was  taken  on  the  25th. ;  and  some  Recom- 
mendatory, or  declatory  rights,  it  was  supposed   (by  my  eorre- 

314 


CHARLES   TEMPLETON    CROCKER 

spondents  in  Richmond),  would  follow  the  Ratification  of  the 
Constitution  the  next,  or  following  day. — As  these  two  adoptions 
make  ten  affirmatives  without  a  negative,  and  little  or  no  ques- 
tion is  made  of  North  Carolina's  treading  in  the  steps  of  Virginia, 
it  is  hardly  to  be  conceived  that  New  York  will  reject  it. — Rhode 
Island  hitherto,  has  so  far  baffled  all  calculation,  that  he  must  be 
a  hardy  man,  indeed,  who  will  undertake  to  declare  what  will  he 
the  choice  of  the  majority  of  that  State,  lest  he  should  be  suspected 
of  having  participated  of  their  phrensy. 

**The  Accys.  from  Richmond  are,  that  the  Minority  will 
acquiesce  with  good  grace — Mr.  Henry  it  seems  having  declared 
that,  though  he  cannot  be  reconciled  to  the  Government  in  its 
present  form,  and  will  give  it  every  constitutional  opposition  in  his 
power;  yet,  that  he  will  submit  to  it  peaceably;  as  every  good 
citizen  he  thinks  ought;  and  by  precept  and  example  will  en- 
deavor, within  the  sphere  of  his  action,  to  inculcate  the  like  prin- 
ciples in  to  others. — 

**You  have  the  best  wishes  of  every  one  in  this  family  but  of 
none  in  a  higher  degree  than  those  of.  Your  affect,  friend  and 
Obedient  Servt.  .    .    .  G.  Washington. 
*'Pray  offer  my  Compliments, 
to  Mr.  Langdon.
